Korg C1 AIR Digital Piano - White

The white matte Korg C1 Heritage Series 88-Key Digital Piano provides discerning pianists and students alike with the authentic sound and playing experience of two carefully selected and sampled concert grand pianos. Housed in a compact cabinet designed to enhance the décor of your room, the Heritage Series C1 offers an exciting alternative to playing an acoustic instrument in your home or at locations where a real acoustic piano is not practical. The C1 is equipped with a full-range speaker system, which delivers a piano sound that has depth and clarity. To help students develop a proper playing technique, the instrument offers several practicing options such as a metronome, 40 built-in piano songs that students can play along with and learn, and an A-B repeat function to practice more complex sections. The Partner mode allows you to divide the keyboard into two identical sections, ideal for when a teacher and pupil want to play duets or practice together during lessons. Other features include a two-track recorder to help you analyze or archive your performances, two headphone outputs for private listening, a three-pedal unit, and an integrated stand. To ensure proper manufacturing quality, the C1 is designed and crafted in Japan by a small team of expert workers. Two Concert Grand Pianos

• The C1 brings you a German grand piano with rich and powerful tones that are ideal for classical music, and a Japanese grand piano with a dynamic sound well suited for jazz and pop styles.
• Both pianos realistically recreate damper resonance and key-off simulation to provide an even greater feeling of realism as you play.
• The pianos were selected by professional pianists, regulated and tuned by master technicians, and sampled by Korg engineers

Authentic Acoustic Piano Experience

• At the heart of the C1 playing experience is the 88-key, RH3 real weighted hammer-action keyboard, which accurately simulates the playing experience of a grand piano
• The RH3 keyboard divides the hammers into four different weights, with a heavier feel in the low register and a lighter feel in the high register, as experienced on concert grand pianos
• The keyboard is precisely responsive, even when notes are repeated quickly
• The key-touch control with a choice of five levels of sensitivity (light, normal, heavy, stable, fixed) lets you select how your playing dynamics affect the sound of the piano
• The damper resonance realistically recreates the effect produced by the sympathetic resonance of the strings in an acoustic piano when the damper pedal is held down
• The key-off simulation recreates the sounds produced when the player’s fingers lift off the keys
• Included are the three pedals found on a grand piano: damper, soft, and sostenuto
• The damper and soft pedals feature half-pedaling for even more detailed expression

Quality Instrument Made in Japan

• The entire process of making the C1, from keyboard to assembling the complete instrument, is carried out in Japan by a group of skilled workers
• The instrument is made in small lots, resulting in professional quality and minimal waste

Sophisticated and Elegant Design

• The sophisticated and elegant design features linear legs which accentuate the overall styling of the instrument
• At only 13.7" in depth, the C1 can be placed virtually anywhere
• The key cover uses a soft-landing mechanism to ensure that it closes gently

Realistic Instrument Sounds with Effects

• All sounds can be enhanced using the brilliance, reverb, and chorus effects

Speaker System

Stereo Sound Optimizer for Headphone Monitoring
